Research Highlight

A new paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society authored by Chemistry Assistant Professor Jessica Anna and her research group describes the use of innovative multi-dimensional spectroscopy methods to follow the flow of energy through the pigments of photosystem I, the light harvesting protein at the heart of photosynthesis. These studies can enable a better understanding of natural photosynthesis and guide the design of artificial light-harvesting systems. Read it here.
